A multi-vehicle collision involving a Honda Civic and two semi-trucks occurred today on the westbound Interstate 10 freeway near Frazier Street in Baldwin Park, CA. The incident took place around 7:16 AM, with the Honda Civic becoming lodged under one of the semi-trucks. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
Emergency services responded quickly to the scene, where they found the Civic partially trapped beneath a semi-truck, blocking the center lanes of the freeway. This obstruction led to traffic delays for morning commuters as the vehicles hindered the flow of traffic.
